The power station of the Thuringian Energy and GreenTech agency (ThEGA) has certified the project developer RES (Renewable Energy Systems) as "Partner for Fair Wind Energy". With this seal, project developers and planners of wind power plants undertake to comply with the guidelines for a fair expansion of wind energy in Thuringia. These include, for example, the early involvement of all stakeholders in the planning of a planned wind project or financial participation opportunities for municipalities, citizens and businesses.

“We are very happy about the certificate. The 'Partner for Fair Wind Energy' seal makes it clear that wind energy projects cannot be implemented purely from political or economic interests. A fair deal with all the project participants and real opportunities for the local population is very important to us as a family-run and independent company", explains Dr. Frank Finzel, Managing Director of RES Deutschland GmbH. RES is already cooperating with regional partners such as Windkraft Schonach GmbH in the Black Forest. With its financial strength and many years of experience, the international project developer offers tailor-made cooperation models to small and medium-sized project developers. The goal of the partners: In the upcoming tender market for onshore wind energy is to create value locally in the location of projects.

In the future, Thuringia wants to allocate around one percent of the land area as a priority area for wind power production and triple production to 2,900 GWh per year. In order to better involve the interests of local residents and ensure a fair participation of all stakeholders, the unique certification procedure was launched in Germany. To date, a total of 34 project developers have received this award.

With over 12,000 MW of installed capacity, the RES Group looks back on a 30-year success story as a full-service provider and is thus one of the pioneers in the development of renewable energies with a sustainable corporate strategy for a climate-friendly, decentralised energy supply. RES provides the necessary financial stability and enables projects to be implemented quickly and purposefully. This makes the project developer a strong cooperation partner all over the world.
